The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

Outstanding book to learn about Conformal Prediction! This is the book I have been looking for to help me understand prediction intervals, uncertainty quantification and producing more trustworthy models.

Subscriber review

The author does a good job of covering the general framework and main ideas of conformal prediction(CP) in Chapters 1-5 followed by a wide application section on classification, regression, time series, Vision, NLP from Chapters 6-10. I’d recommend jumping to the chapter corresponding to your task at hand, as the general framework is task agnostic and each chapter is self contained.Here’s a high level summary of what conformal prediction offers, and how to apply it in your own pipelines:What it offers:- Conformal prediction is a general framework for quantifying uncertainty of your ML model, it allows you to go from point predictions to prediction sets.-These prediction sets come with guarantees of coverage i.e, the true label lies within this prediction set with probability at least 1-alpha. This alpha is set by you, for e.g. if you want a 95% guarantee of coverage you set alpha to 0.05.-These prediction sets are adaptive i.e. The size of the set is an indicator of how uncertain your model is about a particular instanceHow to use it:-Train your model as usual on the training data.-Calibrate your model using a held out portion of the dataset.-To do so, pick a nonconformity measure for your task, this roughly measures how different a new datapoint is from the existing data points.

Having delved deep into "Practical Guide to Applied Conformal Prediction in Python" by Valery Manokhin, I'm compelled to share my enthusiasm for this standout resource in the machine learning community. This book is a comprehensive exploration of Conformal Prediction (CP), a topic of paramount importance for anyone keen on elevating their data science and machine learning projects to the next level.The breadth and depth of topics covered in this book are truly impressive. Manokhin starts with the fundamental concepts of CP, ensuring readers understand the theoretical underpinnings before diving into its practical applications. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, encompassing a wide array of applications from binary classification and regression to the more complex realms of time series forecasting, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP).The chapters on time series forecasting and computer vision are particularly enlightening, showcasing CP's versatility and power in handling diverse and challenging datasets. The book goes beyond the basics, delving into nuanced topics like imbalanced data and multi-class CP, areas often overlooked in other texts. This depth ensures that readers are not only equipped with theoretical knowledge but also with the practical skills to apply CP in real-world scenarios.Practical examples peppered throughout the book, all in Python, reinforce the material, allowing readers to see CP in action. These examples are not just academic exercises; they are drawn from real-world datasets, making the lessons learned directly applicable to one's own industry projects.Moreover, the focus on enhancing prediction reliability through CP is timely and critical. In an era where data-driven decision-making is paramount, the ability to accurately quantify and communicate prediction uncertainty is a game-changer. This book empowers readers to do just that, boosting their confidence in the models they build and deploy.In conclusion, "Practical Guide to Applied Conformal Prediction in Python" is an invaluable asset for data scientists, ML engineers, academics, and anyone interested in advancing their understanding of uncertainty quantification in machine learning. Whether you're a novice seeking to learn about CP or a seasoned practitioner aiming to refine your skills, this book is a must-have. It's not just a guide; it's a comprehensive toolkit that will undoubtedly enhance your machine learning endeavors.

"A Practical Guide to Applied Conformal Prediction" is a comprehensive exploration of conformal prediction techniques that caters to both novice and experienced data scientists. The author's commitment to demystifying complex concepts is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource in the realm of predictive modeling.The book's strength lies in its systematic approach, covering a wide range of topics from the fundamentals to advanced applications. The inclusion of practical examples and case studies provides a hands-on learning experience, facilitating a deeper understanding of conformal prediction in real-world scenarios.The clarity in presentation and the use of illustrative examples make this book accessible, even for readers without extensive prior knowledge in the field. However, a more pronounced emphasis on the mathematical underpinnings may have benefitted readers aiming for a deeper theoretical understanding.One notable aspect is the inclusion of exercises and challenges at the end of each chapter, encouraging readers to apply what they've learned. This interactive element adds a practical dimension to the learning process, reinforcing the theoretical concepts covered.While the book offers a commendable overview of conformal prediction, a more nuanced discussion of potential challenges and limitations, as well as alternative approaches, could have enhanced its completeness.In summary, "A Practical Guide to Applied Conformal Prediction" is a commendable resource for those looking to delve into the intricacies of conformal prediction. Its thorough coverage, practical examples, and interactive exercises make it a valuable tool in the data scientist's toolkit. With a well-deserved 5/5 rating, this book stands out for its accessibility and practical applicability in the field of predictive modeling.
